CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS

Notes &

Videos by Beth Shea Palmer in Jhongli, Taiwan on April 23, 2010.

-4: ABOVE—Trash a nightly routine for business and home owners, to a sweet sound, and on this particular occasion, with a slightly flashy garbage man with a solid behind-the-back.

BELOW—Check out a typical Taiwanese mailman stopped at a stoplight. Postal workers here wear green and ride green motorcycles over-packed with boxes and letters.



BELOW—Every day, caravans of vendor carts travel to the night market grounds (a closed off street) to set up. They reach their destinations by hand-pushing their cart, pulling it by bicycle or pulling it by scooter. This is the longest train of carts I’ve seen being pulled by one scooter.
